anyone ever find a part number for these? or an appropriate aftermarket unit?

You'd be better getting a strut Re-gas guy to measure up and obtain something suitable.

The issue will be the door end, as the bracket & ball is permanently affixed.

Is there a reason yours can't be regassed?

There a few places online where you can buy custom Struts, you give them the measurements and weights and what ends the struts need and they will make them up. (most if not all the stagea's have ball joint ends, fairly common)

Im sure if we get a few people interested we could see about a group buy with a strut making company....

I processor detective work in the dark in the garage in the morning. I took the gas spring to the desktop and I did the measurements and I found using Google the UK company that produces the desired gas spring lifting force. I examine the dimensions in the manufacturer's pages and I got to the shopping cart products:

Original gas strut includes a coarse threaded ball sockets so I have to buy new ball sockets with M8 thread. Also original gas strut is 1125N and i planned to order 1150N.

Gas spring original body length is 14 cm and a stroke length of 9cm so the total length of 23cm. This means that the GS10-22-100-150 will not physically fit in the car (gas strut body strikes to strut support iron when the backdoor is closed). This means that the manufacturer's catalog contains one of the appropriate gas spring GS10-22-70-120. This product is a body length of 2cm too short and the stroke length is also 2cm too short! This place is more suitable for shorter, with larger gas strut rear door can not be closed. If we replace B10 to B11 which is 6 mm longer so stroke length difference is now 14mm. So, the end result will be the door several centimeters lower.

My friend works at the selling company that imports the original STABILUS gas struts to Finland. I'll put him in the query that he have time to work on the sidejob to take a look availabilities and prices of original and possibly the bolt-on parts.

Now a moment to sleep. Whether others found other options?

Can you (or anyone) confirm that these are correct? As it doesn't match exactly with what I have in my car.

Dragon92, If that is for an M35, please post up the part number.

K250-22-1135n

$35 each

(Helps when i know the guy i got them from)

I also ordered a 10mm add on otherwise the boot wouldn't open as far.

No idea if you guys have found suitable replacements in OZ/NZ for your M35 Stagea tailgate and boot floor struts but I've just managed to order some new ones from SGS engineering in the UK. Cost about £100 / approx 160 AUD for all 4 struts.

 

Will let you know how I get on when they arrive!

Hi John

Yeah I still have the invoice - the part codes on it are:

 

GS10-22-100-150 Gas strut

B10 10mm metal ball socket

B3 10mm angled plastic ball socket

 

GS8-18-100-140 gas strut

B1 10mm plastic ball socket

 

Not sure which is which strut but I can take a look if you're only wanting to order the boot struts for example.

Hi Gazman2

Did you install those GS10-22-100-150 gas struts to your Stagea? I have those same struts and I'm trying to

put those to my 2001 Stagea 300rx... How did you install those cause I'm having trouble because struts are

so strong ( seems that they might fit if there is a way to pull the strut rod inside couple of centimeters when installing )

Has anyone here actually installed those GS struts to Stagea?? Or are they simply not for Stageas...

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
